The Book of Acts

Purpose

Acts 1:1–8 “In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.””

God’s kingdom coming to earth as in Heaven through Jesus & His Spirit & His Church:

Sharing the Good News in Word and in action

Forming diverse communities where people are equals

Coming out from Israel into all the nations

Trusting in the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit

Jesus mandate was for us to be witnesses of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection to ALL people through the power of the Holy Spirit.

If my analyzing is correct, there will be peace after this war and there will be a shift specially in the land of Iran where Christians will be able to freely worship. It could be a time of great revival and evangelism.
